We visited at the end of the summer season to find the hotel empty of any atmosphere and nearly empty of guests. It is a a very quiet hotel without a spa or a gym or any of the standard services you would expect from a luxury branded hotel. The private beach is a small tiny space of sand between... More

We spent last weekend in imperial garoupe. We nearly backed out of the booking having read trip adviser reviews. The owner manager seemed very pleasant despite having been made out on trip adviser as an absolute tyrant.Breakfast was lovely in the courtyard and there was a great selection. Pool was adorable and heated.. The hotel loungers at sea were really... More

The management/owner was rude with no sense of what hospitality is about. The service, food and quality of the rooms was poor and below the expectations of a 5 star property. The hotel is overpriced for the service and quality of the rooms that it provides. This leaves one with the feeling of having been ripped off. Would definitely never... More

These comments have been written by the same people. We are now at the third comment (1st, 17th and 18th of August). As these people are in the hotel Industry, we could do exactly the same with their hotels. I have been in this business for 35 years and i will certainly not do it with them. I am above... More

During a recent stay at this hotel we were expecting to find standards that are boasted by the Relais & Chateau organisation but were bitterly disappointed. The foremost complaint is about the rudeness and lack of respect shown to us and other guests who stayed during our visit. The food generally was inedible, the breakfast did not measure up to...

Please, read our answer from the comments of August 6th, 2011. This note has been written by the same people and to us it takes all credibility away from the purpose of tripadvisor. We do not believe that it is a playground for personal matters. We will not comment any further. More

Our big mistake, we should have looked up the Imperial Garoupe on Trip Advisor before we booked! Not too many nice things to say about this place, besides that it is a pretty property. Guess there is a reason they want all their money up front....who would stay? We stayed 5 days, and while the grounds are lovely and well... More

We went to this hotel as it was part of the Relais and Châteaux chain (which is meant to represent great food and hospitality). It is abysmal. From the moment we arrived, we were unwelcomed. There are rules for everything. The owner walks around intimidating his staff and even attacks guests. His staff tries to tell all guests what they... More

Dear Sirs, Evereyone is free to write what he wants to say about us. We just want to point out that in this particular case the reasons for these comments are completely different from what is written. We believe that it is not necessary for us to answer to all these. We only have one message : the hotel is... More

Is what I assume you pay for. Rooms were small and particularly dated. Staff is very lovely and the overall property is beautiful. Did not try breakfast/dinner. Beach is a walk down a private path but was closed when we were there. The location is the best part. Choices are limited in this specific area so splurge at Cap du... More

My borther, his wife and 19 month old baby were robbed while sleeping at the hotel Imperial (a 5 star property) on their 1st night. A robber entered the hotel private property and their room to steal cash and wedding rings.
